THE SIEGE — private

[dannychan]

he huffed softly. “yes i am! and i’m not cute!”

[peridot.]

Achaka seemed to process this for a moment before saying softly, "Pipie not cu-te, but..." He pointed at himself as he said the next part, curious, "Achaka is c-cute?"

[dannychan]

he nodded. “y-yeah! achaka idbigand strong but.. v-very cute.”

[peridot.]

Achaka seemed to smile at this, and he began to say softly, "Pipie li-like Ach-?" But he was cut off by the loud and slightly grumpy voice of Manny. The extremely short goblin in armor that was also competing in the competition came trampling out of the woods, saying loudly, "Achaka, Graham! Where have you been?" He held out the large jar he was holding, which was absolutely full of eyes, "I'm guessing you guys haven't gotten your eye of a gruesome beast yet?" The goblin then seemed to notice the position the two were in - with Achaka with his arms around Graham's neck - and seemed to pause, "Did I interrupt something...?"

[dannychan]

graham squawked and pulled away, looking anywhere except at manny. “n-no!”

[peridot.]

Achaka blinked, and seemed to pout slightly, but then just shook his head and moved to pull his helmet back on. Manny looked between them for a moment before saying softly, "Er, alright... Well, I preordered a bunch of eyes at the curiosity shop before the competition started, so I've got you both covered."

[dannychan]

his eyes widened and he smiled. “really? thank you, manny!”

[peridot.]

Manny nodded and said, gently nudging Graham, "Yep! You know our deal, no matter which of us wins, we put in a good word for the other to become a knight, so I may as well help you out... Oh, and Achaka of course now, since it seems like he should be in on the deal." He showed the eyes to Achaka, who nodded a bit and sighed.

[dannychan]

graham nodded happily and clapped slightly.

[peridot.]

Watching the other mime out the words, Achaka blinked and chuckled, saying in his sort of broken English, "Pipie very b-i-g and st-rong."
